Chapel Hill-Durham Homeschoolers’ Friday Enrichment is an inclusive educational program to provide enrichment and socialization opportunities for homeschoolers of all ages. It provides both classroom experience and the chance to meet and form relationships with other homeschoolers.
Classes are offered by homeschooling parents and community members in a variety of topics. We welcome classes for children of all ages and in all subject areas. Classes can even be open to adult students! We encourage parents to consider teaching--you do not have to have teaching experience or certification to run a successful class. Parents have successfully hosted board game classes or shared a favorite hobby. Also, please consider sharing the class proposal information with teachers or community members that you think would be great FE instructors.

As an instructor, you'll set your own fees and be paid directly by participating families. FE Instructors pay a fee to CHDH to offset room and administrative costs (which are also subsidized by CHDH), not to exceed $180 per hour for 6-week classes and $300 per hour for 12-week classes. You can look at a previous catalog here to get an idea of the going rate for classes.
If you are planning on proposing a class, we highly recommend reading our Friday Enrichment Instructor Handbook. It's packed with important information about the class proposal process and serving as a Friday Enrichment Instructor.
Other Important Information:
You must be a member of Chapel Hill-Durham Homeschoolers to take classes. If you are not a member, you can register, then join before the session begins.
Students are assigned to classes in the order in which they register. Registration priority is given to FE volunteers, teachers, and CHDH board members. Volunteering and registering early give you a greater chance of getting your first choice classes. Priority registrations must be submitted by August 10th to receive priority. If you are a volunteer receiving priority registration, you must sign up for your volunteer dates on the sign up genius prior to August 10th.
FE Coordinator will send out class lists August 15th and payment will be due by August 21st to reserve your spot. If payment is not made by August 21st, your students will be removed from the class list until payment is received (or you have communicated with the instructor regarding payment and they have agreed to a plan). If payment is not made by sufficient students to run the class, the class will be cancelled (at teacher’s discretion). Any payments made for cancelled classes will be refunded. There will be no refunds for classes that run. Please be mindful of your choices and communicate with the FE coordinator as soon as possible should you anticipate needing adjustments.
There are scholarships available but you must register by the scholarship deadline (listed in the catalog and on the registration form) to apply for those funds. Additional funds may be available for the second six week session each season.
Parents make payment directly to teachers on the first day of class. Parents should contact teachers directly with questions about payment or to make alternate payment arrangements. At the teachers discretion, it may be possible for 12-week class payments to be made in two installments.
